We were travelling in the States for a month and stayed at a variety of places of all different costs and standards, and this place was really a good base for travelling round Lake Tahoe. We were staying 2 nights as we needed to set off at 4am on the 2nd day so didnt want to spend much on a room that we would be leaving so early. It was excellent value. It was clean and comfy and for the price we paid £49 for the 2 nights it couldnt be faulted. It is in a great location within walking distance to the Lake with free access to the beach. Right on the state line so on the other side of the road you are in Nevada. If you want a place on a budget this is the place to stay.

For just below US$80 for 3 persons in a reasonable double queen room. Location is good,walking distance or less than 2 mins drive to beach. Staff at counter is ok, she gets her job done at least. One cannot expect too much from the price one pays for..One more thing, walls between the rooms are thin so don't talk too loudly.

I chose this motel because it was much more affordable than the casinos in the area. The motel is similar to the other non-casino motels in the area, a little older and lacking the bells and whistles of the casino hotels. However, I would highly recommend Alpine Inn & Spa because of its convenient location (within walking distance of everything), comfortable beds and free amenities (pool, hot tub, fridge & microwave & free WIFI). Great value for the money!

We stayed on this hotel to catch last minute Spring snow on Heavenly from 3/31/12 - 4/2/12. Although tucked a few hundred feet away from South Lake Tahoe Blvd, it is a walking distance to everything: Heavenly Ski Resort Gondola base, Heavenly Village shopping complex, Harrah's Resort, Ski equipment rental shop, hotels, and access to Lake Tahoe. I wouldn't recommend wearing your ski boots to walk up to the Gondola base because although it's a short walk, it can be daunting (you can rent lockers at the base).

After skiing, we would just walk our way around from this hotel, such as the Buffett on Harrah's Resort & Casino or just look around for some cool gears from The Northface, Patagonia, and Salomon.

The hotel staff are friendly. I dropped my car keys on the snow and realized it's lost only after 18 inches of snow had already fallen. The next day, the reception called me while at the slopes to tell me they had found my car keys.

The rooms are far better than any Roadway Inn, Motel 6, or Howard Johnson that I have stayed in. The linens feel fresh and clean as is the pillows--there are four and generously sized just like what I have home, enough for those heavy heads. The rooms are clean. Don't expect a Hampton or Fairfield quality rooms for this price but it is certainly better than typical transient roadside hotels.

It can get noisy when nocturnal people go home at 2 am from partying so I'd recommend a second floor.

Hotel staff clean your room and replenish supplies including towels and linens everyday. Thank goodness, I didn't have to lay linens on my pillows like I used to at other hotels.

I'd stay here again on our next Tahoe ski trip.
